Revving fast, exotic cars on tracks is a popular Vegas vacation experience.

Now, a new attraction hopes to muscle in on the action by taking it to the streets.

The American Muscle Car Driving Experience, announced today and launching April 1, puts you in a late-model 662-horsepower Shelby GT 500, Challenger SRT8, Camaro ZL1 and others for a run on Red Rock Canyon-area roads.

You can get behind the wheel of three hot cars in 30 miles of desert for $299; four on a 50-mile run for $399. Speed limits top at 50 mph; want to bet some drivers push that in what's billed as the USA's first open-road muscle-car attraction? For more information, visit worldclassdriving.com. World Class Driving currently offers off-track experiences in exotic cars, and is adding to its repertoire.

Also, NASCAR legend Richard Petty has an American Muscle Car Challenge due to open in Vegas on March 29 and in Charlotte on April 12. Drivers test their mettle on a track for $199. Info: drivepetty.com.
